It Never Got Weird Enough for Me

SharePlay Gets Further Explanation

Shuhei Yoshida took time in a recent interview to clarify how SharePlay will work on the PS4. One line of his interview is a simple and eloquent way of describing the feature:

“You could call it a mini PlayStation Now.”

In many terms, SharePlay will operate on the same principle as PlayStation Now but on a much smaller scale. You will be able to transfer control of your console to a friend you have invited to do so. Anybody that works in the field of information technology could equate this to services like Remote Desktop or Citrix. Those less familiar can think of it along the same lines of calling for tech support and the technician on the phone takes control of your PC via a small program they have you download, such as GoTo Assist or LogMeIn.
